• “Some claims are so insubstantial, implausible, or otherwise completely devoid of merit as not to involve a federal controversy.” (quotation and ellipsis omitted)
• “[J]urisdiction would still lie if the plaintiff presented a non-frivolous federal question. We find none. For example, the plaintiff asserts various antitrust violations, but fails to allege any colorable basis for them.”
